Russia never claimed the weapon being capable of what it can in game. Gaijin is just using their interpretation of what they think it should be. Which looking at technology development of other aspects in their military it’s a very generous interpretation.
And yet even after the sanctions we have to still use russian rocket engines because NASA cant get it together. Unlimited funding doesnt neccesarly mean a better product.
Its not 1990 anymore even china is starting to pull ahead of us in certain areas.
Gaijin standards are fake, they change whenever they want to better fit what gaijin want. They aren’t even written in some documents, we know those “standards” only from CM messages. You won’t even know about them if you don’t live on forum.
5000 messages of cope that gaijin have to provide something to players, when in fact gaijin never had to provide or prove anything, they don’t care and can do whatever they want as they do for a decade already with a ton of fantasy stuff being in game. Kh-38MT is not even the fakest thing (by what people think about it’s non existence here) compared to other stuff in game.
Not when it comes to player suggested additions / removals, they aren’t as they fairly evidently require proof beyond a suspicion of whatever configuration being at very least plausible when it comes to aircraft stores.
It’s more so a public (and fairly popular ) request to provide whatever they have on the missile. It also wouldn’t be the first time that Ordnance was removed from the live server due to causing balancing issues, remember the S-13DF?
Mi-28N, Ka-52 — S-13DF missile has been changed to S-13OF with the А-IX-2 explosives weight equal to 6.9 kg. An incorrect calculation of TNT equivalent required for striking armoured targets has been corrected that led to an ammunition type change for balance reasons.
So which missile has less evidence? You clearly have one in mind.
So why not just change the Re factor / put a hard cap the performance for FAE warheads like they had with HEAT? Ultimately the mechanics that are implemented or not are entirely up to Gaijin so it wouldn’t make a difference.
So they why specifically qualify missiles then? If you can’t qualitatively point to something that is more egregious.

It’s more just weighing my chances of getting other Prototype / mockup ordnance added across the board, since if standards they require are changing, I’ve got a number of reports to write for a whole host of items & airframes.
Because RE was correct. Thermobaric warheads have high RE, but it doesn’t mean they work same as HE against vehicles, because they are made to fight infantry. And so S-13DF was replaced with same rocket just with warhead that can work in game properly.
You dicided I specifically qualify missiles, I just said KH-38 is missile. Fake stuff is fake stuff. I changed missile to “thing” so nobody will misunderstand.
Replacing with already working mechanic is easier way for them than trying to find out how good thermobaric warheads are against armor for a single rocket.
It still gets adjusted all the time for a number of explosives because there is practically no actual consensus between sources, likely due to manufacturing differences over the years, and better documentation / standardization.
